Call for Alpha Emulator Beta Testers using Tru64 UNIX, Digitsl UNIX, and DEC OSF/1

Tru64 UNIX Community

This is a call for Tru64 testers for the Public Beta of FreeAXP=99, a
free Emulator of the Alphaserver 400 4/166 (Avanti).

FreeAXP=99 has been in public beta for over two months with VMS users,
but with the announcement this week of FreeAXP=99 Beta 1.0.5.261, it is
now time to test it with the world's finest 64bit UNIX.

The FreeAXP beta is available here :

http://www.migrationspecialties.com/FreeAXP.html

No sign up is required. The emulator is free and will always remain
so, it never expires, and most importantly, FreeAXP can run Tru64 UNIX
V5.1A and V5.1B just like a real Avanti.

So, please download it and try it out on a suitable Windows system
with at least two processors (cores), and let us know how you get on
and any issues you find. There is a dedicated support forum for
FreeAXP (kindly hosted by the guys at OpenVMS Hobbyist) here :

http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/forum/index.php

Please use that forum (and/or ITRC) to share results, ask questions,
or make suggestions for improvements. We're particularly interested in
hearing about results from testers with older versions of Digital
UNIX. Currently we've tested versions as far back as V4.0D, but we
would love to hear how V3.2A through V4.0A behave.
